Who is funding the migrant "caravan"? Each migrant's passage can cost as much as $7K each. Per capita income Honduras is $2.3 K.It is doubtful that such sums came from the kiddies' college funds. Evidence of Soros funding of an earlier "spontaneous" migration have been found among the tentacles of support that flow from his Open Society group coffers:
"The return of terrorists, who have received fighting experience in Syria and Iraq, to the Asia Pacific region remains an acute problem. They represent the ready force for joining local terror cells... Terrorism becomes the more and more grave threat for Asia Pacific states. This is caused by the activities of the significant number of extremist organizations in Southeast Asia."
On Thursday, September 27, Ukrainian officials will take possession of two U.S. Coast Guard Island-class cutters in Baltimore. The transfer comes amid budding maritime hostilities that Ukrainian officials worry may herald a second wave of aggressive Russian military action.
Russia maintains a large naval base in Sevastopolon the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which Moscow illegally seized in 2014. Around August 14, Russia began what many call a blockade of the Kerch Strait, the narrow body that connects the Azov with the Black Sea.
"Experts in Ukraine say this could be the next [Russian] operation from this flank, from the sea, near Mariupol," Valeriy Chaly, Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., said in an August interview at the Ukrainian embassy.
U.S. and Ukrainian officials say Russian military activity has also been increasing in the Azov Sea, which Ukraine and Russia legally share under treaties signed in 2003.
However, Senator Martin Heinrich (D-New Mexico) is among those who aren't happy with Mnuchin's apparent willingness to push Khashoggi's death to one side and continue talking oil with Riyadh as normal. Earlier on Sunday, he called for the US to ban Saudi oil imports over the journalist's death.
"The United States cannot allow this gross human rights violation to go unanswered," the Democratic senator said in a statement. "I am therefore calling for a ban on oil imports from Saudi Arabia until the highest levels of Saudi government are held accountable for their actions."
Heinrich also took aim at Donald Trump in his statement, saying that the US president "would rather embrace denials and cover-ups rather than hold those responsible accountable."
Meanwhile, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) told CNN on Sunday that he believes Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman is behind the death of Khashoggi. "If he's gone forth and murdered this journalist, he's now crossed the line and there has to be a punishment and a price paid for that," he said. "Do I think he did it? Yes, I think he did it," he added, noting that there should be a "collective" response from Western countries if that is the case.
Although Trump largely held back his criticism of Riyadh following its Saturday admission, referring to it once again as a "great ally," he later decided he wasn't satisfied with the information that had been provided by Saudi Arabia after all - after the EU, France, and Germany did the same.
Comment: A good move by Syria, but there's little chance the visit won't be turned into another opportunity to smear the Assad government.
